Implant-supported fixed prostheses with cantilever: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Purpose: This systematic review (SR) aimed to investigate whether the presence of a cantilever affects the results of implant treatment for partial edentulism, including an analysis of the anterior and posterior regions of the dental arches.

Methods: An electronic search was performed, and original articles published between 1995 and November 2023 were included. The outcomes were the implant survival rate, patient satisfaction, occurrence of mechanical complications, and marginal bone loss around the implants.
